Looks like 73F and sunny for my home trip
So you're saying I've started down a slippery slope?
I can't see that happening this year, but next year, the local aquatic/fitness center will be opening up. That means I can do my working out on my schedule, rather than trying to cram it in on my way to work. I think I'd also want to get a road bike, instead of my hybrid. I miss my old Nishiki International; I remember it being much faster.
But back then, I was about 20 years younger, so... However, since I'm trying to do a triathlon or two, I can see another bike sometime in my future anyway.
On the plus side, the way home was much faster than the way there. For the round trip, I'd taken 8 minutes off my previous time. So apparently my training is working, even if I'm not commuting every day. And we were 57F and cloudy for the way home... The way there was 41F. Bit chilly till you get the blood pumping! But not so sweaty.
